Hello, first off that looks sweet! I wanted some advice on my three LED lights. I also have three (yellow) however, I can’t not seem to figure out how to rewrite them. I added a new one and forgot how to rewire them.🤦🏽‍♀️ I know they work because I took them off and touched the ground and positive to the battery and they turn on. Please help

@douglasvincent5409 2 жыл бұрын

Looks great man curve bar was the way to go, but I'm gonna be that guy first time you bump into anything your smash the light bar. Also GM recommends not to block the air dam so I think it's time to change that front facia because it's NOT a bumper to the AEV bison front bumper so you can mount your light bar on top of the bumper.. Then you can add some fog lights. Then of course you gotta get the matching rear bison bumper and it has the knockouts for back lights. Oh yeah then you probably should just go ahead and upgrade the fender flares to the Bison fender flares then get the trim kit. and then, and then, and then. On $$$ and on $$$ and on $$$ and on. $$$.......................LOL it's a sickness I think there are support groups for guys like us.

I will probably have figured this out by the time anyone sees this and replies, but did you have to cut any of the plastic the brackets bend around? I can't get the crash bar holes to line up becuse I'm on the plastic up high. Curious if anyone else has run into this.
